Workout / Exercise Routines

[Thelemech]

Thanks Charg. Yeah I do go for long walks with my Ipod and my Sennheiser headphones so I do get some kind of exercise.


Sucks about your knuckle - I hope it heals up for you.

It sadly won't...been like this since 2002. Had two surgeries for it as well...it actually got bit worse after the second one due to one dumbass butcher of a surgeon.

For most of the time it doesn't really bother me and I've gotten used to the pain...but occationally it really affects my sleep, thus the pills.

Well my running season started couple of weeks ago again...

Just getting accustomed to it again....3 times a week...starting with 40 minutes....doing about 50 minutes now with some short breaks.

It's important to start slowly so you'll avoid runners knee... So far so good.

Well since they cut down the forest I usually ran in and raped it all to hell (my fuckin' cousin...did it in secret too cause he knew I'd object cause I run there plus it was a beautiful old forest....) I had no choice but to go and buy a treadmill...

I didn't go with the cheap ones but for the life of me couldn't afford the really good ones either so I went with a compromise from a Finnish company called Tunturi and their model Pure Run 2.1.

It has a fairly good computer and a good motor with 2.5hp....which is said to be enough for a person of my weight...you can also electrically adjust the elevation up to 10% which is nice.

It cost just shy of 1200€....fuckin' insane still eventhough it was on sale...

Well here's hoping it'll be a good one and ofcourse now I can also keep running during the winter time which outside is outright dangerous.


My summer routine has been so far

Monday: Run (45 to 60 minutes)
Tuesday: Triceps/Biceps/Forearms (dumbbell)
Wednesday: Run (50 min)
Thursday: Shoulders/Pecks/Back
Friday: Run: (50-60 mins)
Saturday: Biceps/Forearms (Barbell)
Sunday: rest

That sucks! treadmill's good, but nothing beats going out for a run or a walk in the bush. Just gotta watch out for ticks in my area.

Indeed, that being said just had my second run on the treadmill and I gotta say it pushes you in a whole different way. You can't ease up so easily...and the automatical incline adjustment makes it even more challenging.

I'm really liking it.

Well son of a bitch....seems that I broke something in my forearm. I was just doing some Shoulder Presses and all of a sudden a very sharp pain near the elbow...Now can't really grip or lift anything...

Oh well...gotta take one extra painkiller tonight and see how it feels tomorrow...

[Billy Underdog]

Oh, snap 

[Charger]

Oh, snap 

Well seems like nothing snapped though.

There's still some pain present but nothing too bad...gotta keep away from weight lifting for few more days though...

Yeah, that stuff seems unhealthy...

Indeed...specially for an old geezer like me!

I finally bought a very simple upper and lower Cable Machine...

Been wanting to have one for years since it would add a lot of variety to just dumbbell and barbell moves...Last week I saw an offer I couldn't pass and went and ordered one...well it arrived today:




Couple of little changed need to be made...gotta make a new seat, that is waaaay to short as it won't allow to proper pulldown on chest. I already cut the new seat out of plywood now I just need to pad it with foam and make a cover..

Also gotta make (or maybe I'll just buy a triceps rope attachment) triceps v-bar or something...

Gotta give it a proper test tomorrow.

I did not know you was an archer.

I think it's a law that Fins have to hunt their own food without firearms.

 

[Charger]

Nah we do actually have a very strong hunting culture here...mainly because we have an uncontrollably large population of Moose and Deer.


But yeah I've had the crossbow for years...haven't been using it lately though. Need to get new hunting arrow tips too.
